On the other hand, a second system in the western Caribbean Sea, tagged as Potential Tropical Cyclone 15, has a much more significant chance of developing over the next few days.
According to the NHC, this broad area of low pressure is producing widespread showers and thunderstorms and continues to become more defined to the north of eastern Honduras.
While environmental conditions appear conducive for additional development, the NHC says the system will only have a short time to live before moving inland over Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula this weekend. According to the NHC, a quick tropical depression or storm cannot be ruled out and seems likely.
Regardless of development, the NHC says locally heavy rainfall is expected over portions of Central America.
The system is not forecast to impact Florida.

Currently a poorly-defined trough of low pressure north of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, officials say any development of this system should be slow to occur as it races westward at 20 mph. Invest 94-L is expected to pass near Hispaniola and the southeastern Bahamas over the weekend.
By the time the new week begins, this system’s chance of development starts to die out, the NHC says.
Formation chances are very low, holding at 20% for both the next 48 hours and seven days.
